Compare (Minus/Except) on data sets

What I have:

Microsoft SQL Server 2008
IBM DB2 for iSeries
Connections setup in BI Publisher
Data Model with data sets from both DBs

What I am wanting:

I would basically like to do a minus (or except) on the data so that my report only displays the data that doesn't match. I know there are workarounds with Microsoft i.e. linked servers or exporting the data set from one server to another and uploading it to a temporary table and performing the query. But is there any way to do this within BI publisher?

I currently am exporting data from the Microsoft DB loading it to a table on the iSeries and doing a comparison that way. However, I have end users that will be the ones wanting the output and I am not wanting to have to manually export and import the data every time they want to run a report. That's why I'm hoping the BI Publisher can handle this. Or maybe someone has another suggestion?

Howdy, Stranger!
